Rush, Hannity, Beck....none of them have wanted anything to do with this. Their lack of interest and participation has been obvious!


Which brings me back to an abiding question . . . which of them are Oligarchy plants in the conservative field to hold sway until they become obvious turncoats.

Or are they real conservatives just choosing to stay alive and keep their families alive?

BTW this post isn't really directed at awake-n-angry and Quix, they are just the sources of the quotes.(#105)

I tend to apply the following well known sayings (from Burke and JC) in the first pass.  Of course, I'm human (that's what I tell everyone) and so I have an imagination, and will spend a portion of my leisure time speculating.  There is nothing wrong with speculation; it excercises the same brain muscles that are used for contingency planning.  I'm giving the radio talkers a pass for now, but it does make one wonder.  I even apply these sayings to trolls.

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" (does this describe your favorite talk-show host?  Really?  NOTHING?).

"by their fruits ye shall know them" (no, I'm not refering to Zero and Larry Sinclair.  That would be above my gay parade)

So, given a dog in this fight, I'm more inclined to work in areas that are not otherwise being addressed, and to be dissappointed in the inaction of others only after the days-work is done.  (Of course, this patience isn't extended to gov't officials).  Trying to determine the motive of  an innaction, doubly removed from direct observation, is a luxury best left until after the second night-cap (and I don't drink).

I believe the general situation is extremely serious.  I am somewhat prudent, but not at all afraid.  There are opportunities coming, for those who are ready.  My terse $0.02.

(YUP, there are logical  and perhaps moral holes holes all through that. Flame away if you must!)
